Tiara took a deep breath and exhaled, hopefully the answer did not disappoint Yundhi.
If to be honest, she is still traumatized by the past that has left her exposed to the seriousness of a creature whose name is male.
Four years ago, Tiara received an engagement invitation the day after she received someone's declaration of love. But two days before the engagement, Tiara accidentally read a text message from a woman on Ivan's mobile phone, charging for the seriousness of his engagement appointment. Of course it disappointed Tiara and decided Ivan unilaterally and did not want to know her again. All his commutation access was blocked for Ivan.
Right now, Tiara was like re-experiencing the incident, the difference between the man who asked for it this time was Yundhi. A man he even knew by chance. Of course Tiara was overwhelmed with thousands of doubts and he fought against his own thoughts. Tiara tried desperately to convince herself that the incident would not be repeated and her big heart wanted to give Yundhi a chance.
Yundhi was still faithfully waiting for Tiara's reply. Waiting for Tiara to open her mouth was like waiting for the results of her exams when she was in flight school. Fear mixed worry into one.
In the midst of his waiting Yundhi again remembered a Tiara writing in one of the personal files containing all his wishes and ideals.
***
Dear God, today I saw a beautiful view, more beautiful than the expanse of the blue sea with the pounding of the waves, more beautiful than the splendor of the mountains and green forests, and, more beautiful than tulip fields in the Netherlands, even. The beautiful view is in my *face.
A small family enjoying time together. Children who are making sand castles, mothers who are preparing food, and fathers who watch their children play. What is more beautiful than this?
I've forgotten what it's like to play with my mom, I don't remember the taste of the cooking she made for me, I don't know how anxious he was when I got home late for playing to my friend's faraway house. If time could be reworked. I miss him who is in heaven*.
I want to feel what she feels, do what she does, I want to be a mother.
I want to have this kind of family picture of God, which I see today, before I was 30 years old, aamiin.

"I want to get married, but it's the month I'm born, so the count is next year because it's November."
Tiara silenced her mouth, then closed her eyes not expecting the sentence to be thrown so smoothly from her sweet lips. He was ashamed of his own words. If he could emulate the abilities of one of the Fantastic Four, Invisible Woman, he wanted to disappear that very second.
Beside him, Yundhi was still speechless, digesting the answer Tiara spoke, a few seconds later he started cheering in excitement. Occasionally his hands clenched into the air accompanied by the word 'yes' nonstop.
Maybe so happy Yundhi took off the wheel of the car, grabbed and hugged Tiara's body until Tiara felt tight. He had to remind Yundhi that they were on their way.
'Am I too easy to accept this guy's request, stupid time, I also males dating long.'
"Yundhi, I can't breathe, dong's off!"
With a heavy heart Yundhi took off her embrace and kissed Tiara's cheek at a glance. "Thank you for asking me."
Tiara tried to regulate her heartbeat to return to normal, her hands were already sweating, her body felt in the jalari of thousands of caterpillars at the same time. Tiara could not guess what was on Yundhi's mind, so quickly the man's heart changed, hopefully not to change again hating him like the beginning of their meeting after tonight.

"Can you eat spicy?"
Tiara made sure that she did not mix the matah sambal spice for Yundhi. Right now they had been in the tent stall that Tiara used to come with Mimi and Jenny when they wanted to eat breakfast.
Yundhi nodded softly, "but level one."
"Oh." Tiara smiled amusedly looking at Yundhi's slightly hesitant face at the end of her sentence.
"Want chicken, duck or tilapia?" tiara asked like a servant.
"Diggly me."
"Wait ya!"
"Where are you going?"
"You order them all to make the sauce."
"You're the one who made it?"
"Emang is usually that, ma'am de Lastri is not strong ngulek if sambel my order."
"Well?!"
Tiara left Yundhi still filled with questions.
"Ga strong how do you mean, not strong because of the heat or what?" Yundhi grumbled to himself on the mat on the edge of the shop.
A scene very different from the one he used to see when eating out. If he usually sits in a cool room with a soft chair and a table full of dishes of food cooked in famous chefs, cook, this time he sat cross-legged on the mat of the store with a view back and forth of the vehicle a few meters from his place. His condition was in stark contrast to his dapper appearance typical of rich people. Some visitors to the tent stall without hesitation looked at Yundhi making him misbehave until occasionally throwing a clumsy smile at the visitors.
From where Yundhi was sitting could see Tiara concocting his spice while chatting and occasionally joking with the shop owner.
While waiting for Yundhi took out the phone to open the social media menu. He chose one of his photos with Tiara when attending the reception, pinned a red heart emoji with the caption 'just official', then without hesitation Yundhi posted the picture. Sure enough, said the senior captain, various comments appeared and mostly menyomen with images of broken hearts. Yundhi smiled to herself and looked at the black flat object in her hand.
"You're still sane, aren't you?" tiara's voice suddenly interrupted her pleasure. "Why smile for yourself? Strange to see."
"No, it's funny to read my comment."
"Oh, wait a minute, the food's in the anterine."
"What am I posting?"
"What?"
Yundhi confronting her phone at Tiara made Tiara laugh at the glance of the various comments that came in.
"Your followers are many."
"Lumayan, understand pilgan, handsome pilot." said Yundhi with full level confidence.
"Currently, you, uh wait! Why do Mimi and Jenny's account names appear in the like field?" Tiara was a little surprised, meaning that Jenny and Mimi had already seen the post.
Tiara then opened the phone and sure enough the notification tone popped up without pause on her phone screen starting from her wa group chat consisting of she, Mimi, and Jenny named The Power Puff Girls, until the request notification becomes a follower of his Instagram account.
Tiara first opened the already crowded wa group chat.
Jennies:

Congratulations say
Our singles' curse is broken
Where else is Ra?
You owe a story
Look out tomorrow the story has to be full
Tiara!!!

Mimi:

Your ungodly friend, Tiara!
Happy is not to share
Tiara pops dong
Jen, ga in our read chat
Be patient!
Eat at the place of the Bu' de Las
Tiara then checked her Instagram account and was flabbergasted by the additional number of her own followers.
"Wow, feel the artist."
"Why?"
"Followers me, hm." Tiara snorted pretending not to like.
"Why?"
"Most girls, guys stay away."
"You're the..."
Yundhi's sentence came to a halt with the arrival of the middle-aged woman carrying a tray containing their order.
"Excuse me, it is ready to neng" said the woman with a thick regional accent.
"Thank you, ma'am de, here let Tiara!" Tiara took over the tray and served the menus one by one deftly.
"If there is less, take yourself yo, already know the place?"
"Yes ma'am de."
Two servings of fried duck vegetables complete with white rice, tofu, tempeh, rolled omelet, vegetables, and sambal served in front of Yundhi. The drink is certainly a choice of Tiara, iced orange squeeze.
"What does it mean to take it yourself?"
"Well, if there's anything less I usually take myself, rice, what side dishes are that."
"You eat here often?"
"No."
"Kok familiar?"
"Oh that. It used to fit recently opened, mom' de Las was just the same husband, I happened to eat here three with Mimi Jenny, that time again rame, we help you deh, ngulek sambellah, ngulek, order nganter, fried side dishes, nyuci vegetables, except nyuci dishes bu de ngga ngkasih. So every time we come to be a buyer and a waiter, the continuity until now."
Again and again Tiara's humble attitude made Yundhi fall in love even more. It is fitting that the men at the reception were at home for a long time to see it, not only beautiful outside, his girlfriend was also beautiful from the inside.
"Eat first, get cold!"
The smell of the food served was indeed tempting to Yundhi's appetite, but the taste of hearing Tiara's story was much more interesting.
Yundhi who used to eat with complete equipment, felt strange when following the steps of Tiara who ate using his hands. Over time he was able to adapt and began to like his new activities.
They enjoyed their first dinner as a couple. The patch Tiara made felt right on her tongue. Occasionally Yundhi sees the Tiara sambal color that is more striking than his sambal. In the trough of curiosity, Yundhi was moved to taste Tiara's sambal. He took a piece of fried tofu and dipped it in Tiara's bowl of sambal.
"I tried yours."
"Ja..." Tiara who was engrossed in her food felt shocked to see Yundhi who was moving so fast and trying to prevent but failed. Yundhi had already put that piece of tofu into his mouth.
"Hhahaahhh."
"Drink, drink this!"
Tiara thrusts out a glass of Yundhi's drink. Half a glass of the drink was toilet but the overwhelming spicy taste was still felt on Yundhi's tongue. He shook his hands in front of his mouth.
"Want to drink again?"
Tiara will move on to take additional orange ice for Yundhi. "Guil me down."
Yundhi snatched Tiara's drink glass which he said. Then she felt her tongue was a little neutral.
"Where's the wake cave from hell, what fedes?" yundhi asked still with a faint sound of spiciness. "Well, is that why?"
Tiara wanted to laugh but was not feeling well, she preferred to go wash her hands with soap to the available faucet and return with her hands already clean and dry. Tiara stared at Yundhi intensely, she could see the sweat dots on her lover's face. He took some tissue, "You're a whip, sorry!"
Tiara directly wiped Yundhi's sweat gently. Yundhi smiled faintly looking and felt Tiara who was rubbing her face.
"Other times slowly, do not immediately try, your face until red gini!"
"It's okay, I'll be noticed." Yundhi's answer got a sharp tiara but Yundhi instead became more happy to succeed in teasing her lover.
"But really, you put how many chillies in that sambal?"
"Just twelve."
"just anyone? o God twelve is said only."
"That's still a little, compared to Mimi and Jenny, they're in the tens."
"Don't be too wide, the flies will come in!"
***
The car driven by Yundhi drove away from the tent stall area located in the shopping complex. Yundhi steers her car towards Tiara's house. Although it has been granted permission, it does not feel appropriate if you have to drive her lover home above 12.
"Tomorrow, you have a show?"
"No, why?"
"We've met oma ya!"
"Okay, oya, oma how are you?"
"Healthy dong, he's the most fanatic supporter asked me to get you."
"What the hell."
"Truly, we'll tell oma together."
Tiara responded with a nod along with a sweet smile on her face.
About twenty-five minutes into the journey, they had arrived in front of Tiara's house. Yundhi must have followed Tiara, making sure she was safe until she entered the house. Somewhat better, but his feeling of being happy makes his mind filled with ridiculous things.
"By!"
"Hm." They are now standing at the door.
"Can you hug?"
Tiara was actually hesitant, but seeing Yundhi being sweet, there was no harm in granting the wishes of the girlfriend.
"Oh, o-okay." Tiara opened her hands despite initially being very hesitant considering they had been in the area of the house.
No need to wait for permission anymore, Yundhi directly hugged Tiara tightly. Tiara's small body felt increasingly smaller in Yundhi's arms. Tiara even realized that Yundhi's shoulder was so wide.
"This is our second hug." Yundhi said in her arms. Tiara's hand clasped Yundhi's shoulder and patted her gently. Some time they stayed in that position.
"I'm grateful you want to accept me, you don't change your mind when you see a handsome man!"
Tiara laughed so hard at the fear expressed by her partner that Yundhi took off her arms.
"I should have said that, your workplace has a lot of beautiful girls."
"Ck, they're nothing on your appeal, the day after I'm on duty, as long as you have to tell me all your activities!"
"Why is it suddenly possessive?"
